No. 586 Palace Change 3
"If you break this oath, the sky will cut off this head!" In fact, Cai Dao has long had too long hair on his idle head, and he can't cut it, otherwise he will be said that he is a deceitful teacher and an ancestor, and it will not be good to convert to Buddhism.
Cai Dao's words made all the generals and soldiers present enthusiastic. Empress Dowager Zhu has a soft temperament and is indecisive, but she treats her subordinates very well, whether it is the eunuchs, palace maids around her, or the palace guards at the bottom, she has never criticized anyone.
This point, the Meng family also did a very good job, otherwise, at the beginning, Empress Liu tortured the people around the Meng family in every way, even if it was death, no one chose to betray.
Cai Dao is even more needless to say, a small belly and chicken intestines, and the eyes will be repaid, that is for the enemy. To his subordinates, as well as the people and things he personally promised, he is very reputable.
What's more, no one in the world knows that Cai Daochang's family is rich and rich. Even if you can't be an official after this war, you can get a lot of money and become a rich man in your hometown peacefully.
The officers actually knew in their hearts that once they participated in this matter, even if their side did the right thing, even if they became heroes afterwards, they could not continue to stay in the palace as officials.
However, it also happened to follow their wishes.
With a knife and six guards, the three heroes and five righteous commentaries are majestic and enviable. Actually, it's not like that at all.
Only those who have really done this job can do this kind of official's suffering.
In the Great Song Dynasty, civil officials and military attaches had a lot of holidays, but the soldiers at the bottom had to be on duty in the palace day and night.
The opponent's attack was very fierce, but the difference between those who had been on the battlefield and those who had not been on the battlefield quickly became apparent. Under Cai Dao's planning and command, the team to which the Queen Mother belonged quickly broke through the opponent's blockade, and worked together to strangle those forbidden troops who wanted to enter the palaces of the kings. As soon as the officers leading the team saw that the general trend had gone, they killed themselves with swords, because they knew that there was no turning back, and if they did not die at this time, they would definitely be punished by a thousand knives.
These generals who are greedy for wealth and nobility are definitely not tough guys.
As for the soldiers at the bottom, they don't know anything, and they don't even know whether the mastermind who issued this order, the emperor, is still alive now.
Cai Dao and Empress Dowager Zhu saw the holy decree with their own eyes, but the handwriting on the holy decree also looked like Zhao Xu's handwriting, and the generals gasped when they saw it. I regretted it a little in my heart, and followed Cai Dao through the troubled waters this time.
"You Qiuba, just look at the surface! There is a key link in this holy decree that has gone wrong, does anyone know? Cai Dao held up the holy decree, showed the side with the words to everyone, and asked disdainfully with a pout.
There are very few people who can recognize the words, even if someone has seen the holy decree with their own eyes, no one has carefully studied it, who is not trembling, for fear of soiling the holy decree?
Whoever will be like Cai Dao, when he gets the holy decree, will carefully observe it several times.
No one dares to do that.
Therefore, as soon as the holy decree was obtained, Cai Dao had already discovered that there was something wrong with an extremely critical and important link in this holy decree.
It's a pity that the guards are all rough people, and those who are literate have long been sent to other places to become officials.
"Daoist Cai, the seal in this holy decree is wrong. My father once taught me. A crisp and pleasant children's voice, remembering from behind Cai Dao, he looked back and saw that it was actually the eldest prince Zhao Ban.
In the Great Song Dynasty, the most important seal of the emperor was generally served by civil officials as Shang Xilang, rather than eunuchs in the palace.
Therefore, in the face of this situation, whoever wants to obtain the complete decree must go through Shang Xilang. However, unless Empress Liu killed Shang Xilang, otherwise, unless Zhao Xu personally took the holy decree to seal it, Shang Xilang would not have taught the seal at all.
Empress Liu can also choose to kill Shang Xilang and forcibly seize the seal. But would the officers and soldiers under her dare?
Killing civil officials and killing the guards in the palace and Cai Dao are not the same thing at all. Moreover, once it is discovered by other civil officials, it will undoubtedly expand the matter.
Therefore, as soon as the words of the eldest prince came out, it was all right, and Cai Dao did not need to continue to explain at all.
As soon as Zhao Ban opened his mouth, all the generals and soldiers were also relieved. The eldest prince closed the coffin on this matter, even if this holy decree was really given by Zhao Xu later, but because of Zhao Companion, he would only hold Cai Daochang responsible, and would not investigate their responsibilities.
The two sides fought in detail, and even if they were victorious, they also suffered many casualties. Cai Dao immediately arranged for the palace ladies to tear off the plackets of the other side's dead guards and bandage the wounded.
And those who were not wounded continued their march towards the palace of the kings.
Naturally, there were guards in the palaces of the kings, and if it was only one side, they would not care, but the forbidden army from two ways actually fought outside the palace of the kings, and these people took the initiative to protect the kings and observe each other's movements.
As soon as the Queen Mother and the eldest prince Zhao accompanied her like this, everyone in the palace breathed a sigh of relief.
King Jian immediately ran out of the team, ran wildly into his mother's arms and cried.
Except for Zhao Yu, the king of Shen, the other kings also cried.
No one noticed that the moment Xiao Zhao Ji saw Cai Dao, his face showed a look of disappointment.
However, the boy disguised himself very well, and soon imitated the other kings, and covered his face with his sleeve, and first howled a few times, and then he really began to weep bitterly. I don't know if he was infected by this environment, or because he was heartbroken because he knew that he had lost one and only chance to inherit the unification.
Cai Dao saw that the general trend had been decided at this time, so he didn't put it in his eyes.
At this time, the person in charge of interrogating the defeated soldiers reported to Empress Dowager Zhu and Cai Daoyu: "Most of these soldiers are responsible for guarding the area around Empress Liu's bedroom, and as for the current situation of the official family, the rest of these people really don't know." ”
At this time, outside the palace, Cao Pan and Gao's three families were all relatives of the emperor, but due to the reasons of Empress Dowager Gao and Gao Zunyu, the Gao family has now declined, even if they learned that there was nothing but the big basket in the palace, they did not dare to act rashly.
Cao Pan's family was more well-informed, but they also made the decision not to move.
At this time, Zhang Dian and Xing Shu stayed in the yamen of the three envoys to discuss the matter secretly.
"Enxiang, if you don't move at this time, I'm afraid that woman won't be the opponent of that demon at all?" The torturer pleaded eagerly.
"Don't say it, Lone won't have anything to do with that crazy woman." Zhang Dian shook his head and refused.
